The report: Tornadoes in Southern Alabama and Georgia on March 1, 2007

Federal weather officials said a March 1 tornado that struck Enterprise High School, killing eight students huddled inside, showed the need for a "hardened safe room" for use during storms.

In its report Thursday on the tornado outbreak in Alabama and Georgia, the National Weather Service said Enterprise school officials and students followed appropriate safety measures before and during the tornado, but the storm demonstrated the need for a safe-room shelter.
